Seat Belts · at 40,000 miles · reported May 15, 2006
Driver's shoulder harness retractor makes a squeaking sound with normal car or driver movements. Brought to dealer for repair and was told it was due to wear on seat belt retractor ratchet and that the only solution was a replacement of the retractor and reupholstered of seat at a cost of $350. Failure to make the repair might result in the failure of the seat belt to lock in an accident. The car is 4 years old and has 40,ooo miles on it. This apears to be a safety defect.
